"as certified by Jas? Miller xxxx of Surgery who saw deceased December 24th"

I sent this list of dates to Keith earlier today - perhaps it helps to explain things.  Some baptisms are in BIVRI but not IGI

1768 May 16 St Botolph's, William KNOWLES married Mary ANDERSON
1773 April 15 St Mark's, Peregrine KNOWLES, son of William and Mary
1774 April 13 St Mary le Wigford, John KNOWLES, son of Mary
1775 June 9 St Mary le Wigford, Susanna KNOWLES, dau of Mary
1776 August 22 St Mary le Wigford, William KNOWLES, son of Mary
1778 Nov 7 St Mary le Wigford, Susanna KNOWLES, dau of Mary
1798 presumed death of John DOCKERY
1800 Nov 17 St Mary le Wigford, Peregrine KNOWLES married Mary JACKSON
1801 Oct 4 St Mary le Wigford, Susannah KNOWLES bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1803 Aug 21 St Swithin, Mary Ann DOCKERAY bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1805/6 likely birth of John DOCKERY (son had middle name of Peregrine)
1808 Nov St Swithin, Martha DOCKERAY bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1811 Aug 19 St Swithin, Sarah DOCKERAY bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1812 Dec 17 St Swithin, Sarah DOCKERAY bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1816 July 2 St Swithin, Elizabeth DOCKERAY bap dau of Peregrine and Mary
1825 March 6 St Mary le Wigford, burial of Mary Ann DOCKERY (21)
1825 Oct 10 St Mary le Wigford, burial of Peregrine Knowles DOCKERY (53)
1832 Sept 9 St Michael on the Mount, John DOCKERY to Elizabeth MARSH
1836 June 19 St Swithin, Wm TATE (wid) to Martha DOCKERY (1841 census shows Martha aged 30, so that's her)
1845 Nov 2 St Mary le Wigford, Richard GLENN to Elizabeth DOCKERY
1858 Feb 1 Burial of John DOCKERY (52)
1859 Jan 12 Burial of Mary DOCKERY (94) - perhaps her extreme age is doubtful in view of 1816 birth of Elizabeth?

On natural children; In southwest England during the 18th century some vicars would register the surname of the believed father and then score through the name leaving it legible to show that they knew or believed who the father was, the entry would then continue base (son or daughter) of ---. Does anyone know of this happening elsewhere?

I have one like that - the boy was about 9 months old and his parents had been married a couple of months in this case.

Having looked at a map to see where Holme is, perhaps the marriage at Messingham 4 Jan 1821, Robert WILKINSON to Ann EVERATT is relevant.

In fact, if you look at the IGI Batch C030201 (Messingham) you will find the baptisms of Elizabeth, Christopher and Jane there :)

Hi Eilleen

There is certainly an index of MIs at Lincs Archives.  It would tell you-

1) if a specific person had a stone at the time the MI list was made
2) the location of that stone - check the map for the MI index - it may not correspond with the official map.

I'm sure this website would be able to tell you what books exist http://www.gainsboroughheritage.com/html/gift_guide.html

Rebecca is not with them in 1851 and a search for Reb* born at Metheringham does not find her.

Perhaps Rebecca SHARP 22 Waddington?

Try looking for Rebecca SHARP(E) ... Elizabeth CARRINGTON married James SHARPE at Meg, 12 April 1831.
